A cast of 25 sexy dancers delivered the perfect cure for the polar vortex as Broadway Bares: Winter Burlesque kicked off the 24th season of Broadway Bares with two sizzling performances yesterday, January 26, 2014, at XL Nightclub (512 West 42nd Street, NYC). BroadwayWorld was there for the whole, steamy event and you can check out Part 2 of our photo coverage below! CLICK HERE to view Part 1.

This year's Winter Burlesque show, dubbed Calendar Girl, was based on last summer's Fire Island Pines sensation and inspired by 1999's Broadway Bares IX: Calendar Girl. More than two dozen of New York theatre's sexiest dancers took the stage in a stimulating strip-a-month journey through the calendar. Broadway Bares: Winter Burlesque was directed by Michael Lee Scott. Tony Award-winning director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots) was executive producer and creator of Broadway Bares.

Winter Burlesque starts a steamy Bares season that also will include Broadway Bares: Solo Strips in May and Broadway Bares 24 on June 22, which is moving this year to Hammerstein Ballroom located in the Manhattan Center, NYC. Tickets for Broadway Bares 24 are on sale now at broadwaycares.org. This year's Broadway Bares 24 theme and details about Solo Strips will be announced later this spring.
